Eve loop Lock and weight found about three weeks ago

[broadestpower]

I found a eye loop about 2.5 inches in diameter connected to a 3 inch lag screw. I was thinking vintage
I found a lock in the same area and that dates to 1927. I'll try and download the the picture so you can get the
picture literally. Thanks for looks, this was in a electrolysis bath for 24 hours. The picture was pre elecrolysis.
My question is do you think this was a slave shackle tie down or boat related anchor. This was found about 30ft
off of a pond. The lead weight appears to be home made as well.

I think the lag bolt was likely just put in a tree or? and something was tethered there. No likely slave related.

Nice finds regardless of the time of production.

Thanks for the peeks and the comments! On The Watzit Forum some believed this loop was either for tethering a horse or hanging tools.
